The latest is the destruction of four hydroelectric dams near the Klamath river.

For years now, large ranch and farm lands dried up for a tiny bait fish.

An excerpt regarding the rebellion:

The evening's main event: a panel featuring eight county sheriffs (seven from California, one from Oregon) who billed themselves as "Constitution sheriffs." They vowed to stand up for the residents of their communities against what they say is an unconstitutional onslaught from regulators in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. In particular, they took issue with the federal government's misnamed Travel Management Plan, which actually is designed to shut down public travel in the forests.
Plumas County Sheriff Greg Hagwood related the stir he caused when he said he "will not criminalize citizens for just accessing public lands." Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey reminded the crowd that county sheriffs are sworn to uphold the Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic." These are fighting words.

Hopefully, when Governor Perry is in charge, these insane policies will end.

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel
of the ungodly,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and
night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives
away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgement.
Nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous.
For the Lord knows the way of the
righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

New King James Version

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Checking ID is a reasonable procedure, is done for credit transactions with no complaints.

Everybody can get a photo ID. Very simple process.

If you cannot or will not show your ID, one can assume that you have something to hide.

Read an excerpt from the report.

The truth is that the most aggressive contemporary voter suppression in the African American community, at least in Alabama, is the wholesale manufacture of ballots, at the polls and absentee, in parts of the Black Belt.”
Davis had particular scorn for “voting the names of the dead, and the nonexistent, and the too-mentally-impaired to function,” which he wrote “cancels out the votes of citizens who are exercising their rights.”
Davis’s surprising turn on the issue comes as the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress ramp up pressure on voter-identification laws. Several states have passed laws this year requiring voters to to show identification before casting their ballots. Those states include Alabama and Wisconsin, South Carolina, Texas and Kansas.
GOP leaders say voter ID laws are needed to combat fraudulent voting, but liberal lawmakers typically oppose them.

Two more such scandals appeared this week, but these latest outrages feature a new wrinkle -- stimulus funds being used to create jobs overseas. In the first example, the Obama administration handed $7.2 million to four Oregon logging companies to hire loggers in a severely depressed industry. But according to a Department of Labor inspector general report, only two of jobs thus funded went to U.S. citizens: "Only two Oregonians were listed on the employer recruitment reports, indicating that workers in Oregon were likely unaware these job opportunities were available. In fact, although 146 U.S. workers were contacted by the three employers regarding possible employment, none were hired. Instead, 254 foreign workers were brought into the country for these jobs."

Still, with all this going on, no one seems to be reacting to the scandal.

The State Disbursement Office has to deal with who gets paid first. Temptations for bribery?

Will it get worse? Probably, there is no money. Big problem for States, they cannot print it. Heh,heh.

Presumably there will be no services without paying cash up front.

An excerpt from the article.

Once intended as a stop-gap, the months-long delay in paying bills has now become a regular part of the state's budget management, forcing businesses and charity groups to borrow money, cut jobs and services and take on personal debt. Getting paid can be such a confusing process that it requires begging the state for money and sometimes has more to do with knowing the right people than being next in line.
As of early last month, the state owed on 166,000 unpaid bills worth a breathtaking $5 billion, with nearly half of that amount more than a month overdue and hundreds of bills dating back to 2010, according to an Associated Press analysis of state documents.

Republican lawmakers on two House committees are seeking details about the loans given to First Solar, SunPower Corp. and ProLogis. Of those three companies, troubling financial revelations have emerged about SunPower, which sponsored a solar project that received a $1.2 billion loan, more than twice the money approved for Solyndra, which filed for bankruptcy last month after receiving a $528 million loan.

There so much wrong doing and scandal, it is overwhelming. Soon we will be so numbed by all this that much will be overlooked.Just a thought.

A bomb set by Iranian terrorist to murder Saudi Ambassador and perhaps endangering Americans nearby; it certainly requires quick retaliation, such as disabling all computer networks for all power stations supporting the nuclear weaponry. Just a thought.

Let it drag on past the elections so Obama cannot pardon the law breakers.

Here is an excerpt from the news report.

Rep. Paul Gosar jabbed back at Attorney General Eric Holder after he swiped at him and other congressional Operation Fast and Furious investigators in a late Friday letter. Gosar told The Daily Caller that “In Main Street America, you’d never get away with” dissembling about the gun-walking program, and that in different circumstances, ”the people who’ve been responsible would’ve already been in jail.” Gosar also added his name to the short but growing list of those in Congress calling for the attorney general’s immediate resignation.

There is a lot of scandal in this administration; we have this and then the solar business.

Many innocent home owners are screwed.Read an excerpt from this news report.

From Ray Burgess: “Solar production in the field can go bad for dozens and dozens of reasons: An errant golf ball. A passing flock of geese. Bullets. Leaves. Shadows. Dirt. And of course the plain old mechanical breakdowns listed above.If a leaf or bird dropping prevents the sun from hitting part of your solar array, that knocks out solar production in an area 36 times the obstruction.”

That's enough to convince you of the maintenance involved with your roof top panels. Hosing down daily getting the leaves, bird stuff, dust particles, tap water might leave mineral residue, many other unforeseen problems.

It also creates a secure corridor for criminals to travel through without fear of apprehension, and they are causing environmental damage as well, Bishop said.

‘People are dying on the border, animals are being killed, plant species are being destroyed by the drug cartels,” Bishop said.

“We can no longer turn our backs on the violence, environmental degradation and rampant criminal activity occurring on our public lands,” Bishop said. “Fires are being started as diversions and distress signs. Murder is taking place. Rape is happening on the border. The conditions are barbaric,” Bishop said.

EPA has to be brought under control, and here the House is making progress.

Knowing some of our military serving us today; I am proud and heartened by them.

An excerpt from her column follows,

First of all, the Boston Tea Party was nothing like tattooed, body–pierced, sunken-chested 19-year-olds getting in fights with the police for fun. Paul Revere's nighttime raid was intended exclusively to protest a new British tea tax. (The Wall Street protesters would be more likely to fight for a new tax than against one.)

Revere made sure to replace a broken lock on one of the ships and severely punished a participant who stole some of the tea for his private use. Samuel Adams defended the raid by saying that all other methods of recourse -- say, voting -- were unavailable.

Our revolution -- the only revolution that led to greater freedom since at least 1688 -- was not the act of a mob.

We have lost our way since the Greatest Generation.Read the whole column of Ann's today here at Human Events by Ann Coulter.

She is not an office holder, so no budget for her and minions trailing along for a free vacation. Shame!Should be paid by the Obama's. Must be a vacation trip , if not, why would the family come along?

Leading up the the release, Andrew Breitbart today exposed some of the ties between Obama and the New Black Panthers, including the vicious racist Malik Zulu Shabazz.

New photographs obtained exclusively by BigGovernment.com reveal that Barack Obama appeared and marched with members of the New Black Panther Party as he campaigned for president in Selma, Alabama in March 2007.

The photographs, captured from a Flickr photo-sharing account before it was scrubbed, are the latest evidence of the mainstream media’s failure to examine Obama’s extremist ties and radical roots.

More important events are happening. Such as, we have a President Obama that should be impeached.He should be indicted by the House, but unfortunately we know the Senate will not convict. At least we can do that.

Although the emir of Qatar pours hundreds of millions of dollars into the channel, making it effectively a propaganda machine for the regime, he prohibits a free press and free elections at home. Bloggers critical of the royal family are simply taken away and tortured, while Al-Jazeera turns a blind eye and deaf ear to their fate.
But because the country hosts a U.S. military base, it enjoys a moderate and even pro-Western reputation. Qatar uses expensive public relations and lobbying firms like Barbour, Griffith & Rogers (BGR) and Brown Lloyd James.
